INTRODUCTION

You'll hear plenty of action with your new Realistic PRO-38 Programmable
Scanner.  You have direct access to over 20,000 frequencies in eight
action radio bands - including police, fire, ambulance, ham radio and
transportation services.  Your PRO-38 scans up to ten channels, so get
ready for a lot of excitement.

The secret to the PRO-38 is a custom-designed microprocessor - a computer
on a chip.  The front panel keyboard lets you easily enter and change
frequencies whenever you wish.  The microprocessor also gives you special
functions, such as these:

  A beep alarm, sounding every 15-30 seconds, alerts you when the
  batteries get low.

  The display shows the channel number, frequency, error indicator, and
  lockout indicator (when you are using the lock out feature).

  An automatic 3-second scan delay prevents you from losing replies on an
  individual channel during scanning.

  Memory backup for channel entries lasts up to 30 minutes during battery
  replacement or power failure when using household current.

The PRO-38 covers all these bands:

  29 - 50 MHz (VHF Lo)

  50 - 54 MHz (ham radio 6m)

  136 - 144 MHz (government)

  144 - 148 MHz (ham radio 2m)

  148 - 174 MHz (VHF Hi)

  406 - 450 MHz (ham radio and government)

  450 - 470 MHz (UHF Lo)

  470 - 512 MHz (UHF Hi)

  Over 20,000 frequencies!

Note:  You must install batteries (or provide another form of power) and
       store a frequency, before you can hear sound of any kind.  Do not
       attempt to use SQUELCH or VOLUME until after you enter a frequency.

Unpack your unit carefully and check the contents for all components - the
scanner, the belt clip, the flexible antenna, and the battery holder.
Read this manual carefully for complete instructions and fullest enjoyment
of your PRO-38.

Note:  Mobile use of a scanner is unlawful or requires a permit in some
       areas.  Check the laws in your area.
